Without any delay, the Cactus Storage Company's auction started at eight thirty on February 15.

Compared to Flagstaff, Phoenix was a much larger city with a lot more treasure hunters. At a glance, this occasion seems to have attracted more than a hundred people.

With over a hundred-people bidding for eleven warehouses, one could imagine how fierce the competition must be since no one really wanted to return empty handed.

Unlike the previous two auctions, the auctioneer informed them about some changes after quickly going over the rules.

"Due to unforeseen reasons, unit 104, 112, 180, and 181 have been taken off, so everyone must grab your chance at the other seven storages…"

Li Du had to exert quite a bit of strength trying to hear that statement, but once he heard it, his mood became even worse, "Dammit, why did this happen?"

On the other hand, Hans appeared much calmer, "Cool down buddy, that's very common. There's many people who remember to extend their lease at the last moment, meaning that that storage won't be auctioned off anymore."

However, what made Li Du somewhat calm was the fact that the two storages that he wanted were still there. The drum set was located in 140 while the piano was in 141.

As for the Yamaha? He spent the morning trying to find it, but still couldn't find a trace of it.

Soon the first storage was opened. Just as Li Du was considering where that Yamaha must be, Hans angrily suddenly threw his cigarette on the ground and cursed, "F*cking Hell!"

At that moment, a Chevrolet pickup arrived. Its passengers steeped off with one helping the other. Their identities were revealed to be Lucas, the exact Lucas that was thrashed by Li Du.

When Lucas saw the two of them, a bit of color immediately returned to his pale face. Fiercely glaring at the two, he venomously cursed, "F*cking Fox, I knew you were up to no good."

Hans pretended to have heard nothing, focusing only on the storage.

Seeing this, Lucas shouted, "Everyone listen up, let me tell you some insider information, there's a twenty thousand-dollar Yamaha bike here! You guys keep an eye out!"

His words were like a firecracker in a methane pit, just as he finished, the entire auction exploded in murmurs.

"A Yamaha? Dammit, why didn't I notice earlier, is it in this one?"

"Where did that news come from? If it's a Yamaha, then I must make a call."

"Lucas is normally a very sly guy, if there's truly a Yamaha in it, then why did he let out that news?"

When Hans heard Lucas's words, he swore, "Sh*t, why didn't you drink that bastard to death?"

Seeing Han's reaction and the other's suspicion, he rose his hand and added, "Believe me, my information is very reliable! I'm Gol D. Rogers, the pirate king of One Piece! I'm leaving the treasure to you!"

"When Gol D Rogers left his treasures to the others, he was on the execution stand, are you planning to die as well?" Hans immediately retorted.

However, the crowd nevertheless believed him after those words, especially when they saw that Lucas didn't bid for the storages.

Sighing, Hans said to Li Di, "I didn't think that bast*rd would pull something like this, do you believe me now? I just knew he's got inside information."

"Alright, looks like I wronged you, but how did you know where he's at?"

"That's because when he's not attending auctions, he's almost always at his cousin's Mexican restaurant."

With Lucas' information, the bidding became even more competitive. Although the first storage didn't have anything of value, it ended up being sold for 1,100 dollars.

Hans also placed a bid, but he stopped at two hundred dollars, "The stuff here is worth four hundred dollars tops. A thousand? Ha! He's gonna go into debt for sure."

After unit 55, it came to unit 74. With several boxes in the warehouse, many people in the crowd though that the bike might be in there. As a result, the competition became even fiercer. In the end, this unit was sold for 2,500 dollars!

Although the winner had a look of great success, Li Du only looked down on his short-sightless.

That's because on the boxes were clearly written the words Conon-Manifold-Paper, in other words, this warehouse only contained printer paper!

After another few hours and four more storages, it came to unit 140.

Knowing what kinds of treasure was in that warehouse, Li Du gave Hans a look that said, "Take this one!"

Since the motorcycle didn't exist, then the drum set and the piano in this one was the next which could be considered to be the best, otherwise, they would have wasted their time coming to Phoenix.

The drums were made by DW Company and could be considered to be high end.

DW drum sets weren't normally sold in stores and had to be specially ordered by customers. Even then, it would take four to six months for the product to arrive. Li Du checked beforehand, even the most basic DW model cost 3,000 dollars, so 1,500 was the most optimal bid for that warehouse.

The auctioneer continued to use his inhuman speed, "Unit 140 Unit 140, since we all know that there's the possibility of a Yamaha here, then we'll start with a hundred…"

"1,500 dollars!" Hans shouted.

The entire crowd was stunned by that price, even Li Du was the same, shouting at him, "Are you f*cking crazy?"

The auctioneer on the other hand smiled like a blooming flower, "Sixteen hundred, sixteen hundred anyone, is there anyone that's going to bid sixteen hundred?"

With that kind of bid, it clearly showed Hans' determination, so everyone started to hesitate. At that moment, no one followed with another bid.

After another two rounds, the auctioneer directly pointed towards Hans, stating, "Very good buddy, this storage is now yours, let's see your number. Very good No. 55!"

When the neighboring 141 was opened, Li Du coughed before apologizing, "I'm sorry Mr. Fox, I shouldn't have questioned your method."

Looking at him in surprise, Hans asked, "Weren't you acting in cooperation?"

Hearing this conclusion, Li Du immediately agreed, "Yes, I was cooperating with you. We also should take this storage!"

He clearly remembered that this warehouse contained a very well maintained grand piano. If it was still working, then this one could still be sold for over 10,000 dollars.

"This one? Is the bike in here?"

At this question, Li Du only felt somewhat helpless, "I don't have X-Ray vision, I'm only able to estimate how much this warehouse might worth with a family ability, you can consider it to be sorcery. As for which warehouse contains the bike, I've got no idea, only that these to storages worth the most."

"Around how much?"

"If operated correctly, then it should sell for over ten thousand!"

This warehouse was also starting with a hundred dollars as the initial bid. Just when the auctioneer started, Hans immediately stated, "1,500 dollars!"

Seeing this, Lucas anxiously stated, "This Flagstaff bast*rd must know which storage contains the bike, his information is more accurate!"

This statement really was wicked, someone immediately followed, "1,600 dollars!"

"3,000 dollars!" Hans simply smirked

This made the auctioneer overjoyed, while pointing towards Hans, he continued asking for more bids.

Just as the fat guy followed up with another hundred-dollar increase, Hans waved his hand and proudly stated, "4,000 dollars!"

"Sh*t, yo buddy, do you have a fever today?!" interrupted Li Du.

This time, he was really acting.
